A Curious OutgrOWth OF the Re-

MANDAN, OAK, May 25.--In town
such as Mandan is-possessing large
number of railroad employees among its
permanent residents-there is always a
great deal of public interest taken in
rumOrs of impending changes in the
management of the Northern Pacific
railroad. The rumors which are now
current were a matter of public gossip
here before they were mentioned in the
papers. There is no wish here for a
change in the management, although
there was time when this could not be
said.
r Never in the history of the settlement
of the West Missouri country was the

share of interest. AS CaSS county can

House, which will not cost the county at

to this effect have been issued and are

The governor may speak from unhappy
experience, but he is hardly compli-
mentary to his political friends in sup
posing that they hold their convictions
SO loosely that Democratic money can
remove them. 1t is some time since he
has issued a message or proclamation;
perhaps he will perceive an opening in
this connection. One of the points made
against the governor more recently is
that he put blanket insurance on all
the territorial institutions without wait
ing for the various trustees to report to
him-and the Bismarck Tribune claims
that it saved $1,000. There was possibly
lack of etiquette, but the saving shows
that he has first regard to the interests
of the people. A good many think tn
territory should do its own insurance,
and figures seem to show that it is the
most economical method, but the legis-
lature ordered otherwise. The COM
plant of this action seems to be pretty
much confined to Democratic papers
and local insurance agencies ignored.

A PROMINENT daily journal in Iowa

ing: "a Vermont City, OAK, editor
lost his entire outfit by fire Wednesday
night. He will borrow his boys novelty
press and bring the journal out on time
next week, unless the contents of the

IN THE absence of any publication of
the laws of the last legislature, there is
much confusion and misrepresentation
as to their provisions. Even an author
ity usually so authentic and reliable as
the Grand Forks Plaindealer bases an
elaborate editorial upon the supposition
that the submission of the local option
question in any county will involve the
expense of special election, forgetting
that vote is to be had upon the division
matter, and all the machinery of an
election will be in use, consequently the
local option vote will not add to the ex-
.pense. The Plaindealer makes the
point that, as a special election is in
volved, only those should sign the petit
tions to the county board who intend to
vote for prohibition at the polls. Al
though people often sign petitions with
out much consideration, in this case
very few will give their names to be
made public as asking for this election
unless they intend to stand by the posi-
ton taken at the polls. Every man
who signs will be claSsed as opposed to
license. A great number who refuse to
sign for business or prudential reasons
will be found slipping quiet no license
vote into the ballot boxes.
One of the Republican papers at the
home of Judge CLIFFORD does not share
his violent prejudices against the DEM
Ocratic party, and has the candor to say
that the Republicans in congress are
quite as much to blame as the Demo
Gratis for the unwarrantable disregard
of the claims of Dakota to statehood.
The imputation of partisanship, it con-
cedes, attaches to them quite as strongly
as to the Democrats-they wanted two
states with four Republican senators,
while the Democrats were willing to
concede but one state. This Canton
paper, which is strongly opposed to
division, has no doubt that an emphatic
vote in November will be accepted, both
in the territory and at Washington, as
fnality and lead to early statehood.
ONE of the arguments advanced in
favor of division is that it will put
state line between the editors of the
jamestown Capital and the Sioux Falls
Argus-Leader. Neither of them would
tread upon feline narrative to induce
vocal selections, and in fact are as
noted for geniality and good humor as
beauty. There is no laundering for gore
on either the James or Sioux, but they
see Gov. CHURCH from opposite sides
and are unhappy. But both ornament
their belligerent speech with such
rhetorical grace that it is pleasure to
listen to even their most portentous
EXAMINATIONS.
